A fourth generation San Franciscan, Larry Baer has gained a national
reputation as one of professional sports' leading visionaries. Baer joined the
team in 1992 as the executive vice president after he and Peter Magowan
led the effort to assemble a new ownership group and negotiate the sale
that kept the Giants in San Francisco. A limited partner of the ownership
group, Baer was named chief operating officer in May 1996, team president
in October 2008 and CEO on January 1, 2012. In his first year as president
and CEO, the Giants won their second World Series Championship in three
years. In 2014, the Giants won their third World Series title in five years.

As president and CEO, Baer serves as the club's "control" person on all
Giants, Major League Baseball and industry issues. Baer is responsible for
the overall day-to-day functioning of the organization. Under his direction
the Giants developed and constructed AT&T Park - the first privately-financed Major League ballpark.
Since opening in 2000, AT&T Park has been widely praised as one of the "best ballparks ever built." The
club has received unprecedented fan support – becoming one of only four teams to exceed three million
in attendance eight consecutive years (2000-2007).

Currently, the Giants enjoy the longest active home sellout streak in Major League Baseball of 327
games. With the support of more than 30,000 full season ticket holders, the Giants sold out the 2011,
2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons and welcomed more than 3.3 million fans each year. The Giants have been
the standard bearer in all of baseball for sponsorship revenue, and the ballpark continues to be one of the
most popular venues in the country for special events. In 2008, AT&T Park was named Sports Business
Journal's Sports Facility of the Year, and in 2011 the Giants received Sports Business Journal's Professional
Sports Organization of the Year award.

Baer also serves as a key strategist and negotiator of the club's major business and baseball transactions.
This includes the Barry Bonds signing in November 1992, the naming rights agreement with
AT&T (then Pacific Bell) in 1996 and other strategic business partnerships. He led the effort to host
the 2007 All-Star Game in San Francisco and was the driving force behind the Giants partnership with
Comcast to create a regional sports network for the Bay Area.

Baer worked closely with the Giants Baseball department on strategic signings that keep several key
players in Giants uniforms for years to come, including Buster Posey, Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner
and Hunter Pence.

Baer also serves as President & CEO of Giants Development Services, which is currently developing
Mission Rock – a new, mixed use urban neighborhood located on a 25-acre site across McCovey Cove
from AT&T Park. Once completed, Mission Rock will include more than eight acres of parks and open
space, an Anchor Steam Brewery, 650-1,500 residential units, 1.3 - 1.7 million square feet of office space,
a parking structure to serve ballpark and Mission Rock patrons, and up to 250,000 square feet of retail,
restaurants, and public amenities. The project is currently in the entitlement phase with groundbreaking
projected for 2016.

After earning Phi Beta Kappa honors at the University of California in 1980, Baer joined the Giants
as the club's marketing director. In 1983, he left the Giants to attend Harvard Business School, followed
by a four-year tenure at Westinghouse Broadcasting in San Francisco and New York. He finally returned
to the Giants in December 1992 from CBS, Inc. in New York, where he had served as a special assistant
to the network's chairman, Laurence Tisch.

Baer has been the recipient of a number of prestigious awards throughout his career with the Giants.
This includes the San Francisco Distinguished Leadership Award for civic leadership (1996), "Sports
Torch of Learning Award" by the Scopus Society of the American Friends of The Hebrew University
(1995), and the Anti-Defamation League's Torch of Liberty Award (2001). In 2010, Baer was the named
the "Person of the Year" by San Francisco Boys
and Girls Club, and in 2012 he was honored
as the Harvard Business School's "Alumnus
of the Year." In 2014, Baer was honored by
the University of California Berkeley with
its "Excellence in Achievement" award and
received the Civic Leadership Award from the
American Jewish Committee.

Baer chairs Major League Baseball's Long-
Term Strategic Planning Committee and serves
on MLB's Business and Media Board and MLB's
Legislative Affairs Committee.

Baer is a member of the Board of Directors
of KQED, Inc., the San Francisco Committee
on Jobs, the Bay Area Council, Comcast Sports
Net Bay Area and is a member of the Boys and
Girls Clubs of America Pacific Region Board
of Trustees.

Baer and his wife, Pam, co-chair the San
Francisco General Foundation Campaign
Committee in support of the new hospital,
which will open toward the end of 2015.
